“I don’t do buses”

Nice mo, Adam.

Sophie Mirabella staffer takes $906 cab ride

This story almost speaks for itself. My comment follows the excerpt from the HeraldSun:

A LIBERAL staffer who splurged $906 on a cab ride from Wodonga to Melbourne boasted on Facebook: “I don’t do buses.” Adam Wyldeck, who works for Victorian Liberal MP Sophie Mirabella, provided taxi fare updates on Facebook as he travelled to the airport on Sunday.

“Not even in Melbourne yet and the cab fare is sitting at $756,” he wrote.

After a Facebook friend asked whether he could have caught a bus, Mr Wyldeck replied: “I don’t do buses.”

He said he couldn’t go by rail because “trains left way too early”.

“It’s just how I roll,” he wrote. When people on Facebook questioned the trip as a blatant waste, Mr Wyldeck urged them not to make assumptions, but wrote “democracy isn’t cheap”.

Comment: 

Wyldeck now claims he never had any intention of leaving the taxpayers to foot the bill for his wasteful fare even though he used a government Cabcharge voucher as he “had no money” in his wallet at the time (what about a credit card, mate?), and that he “planned to pay for it” all along. 

Yeah, right, sure he did.

Look, no staffer is so well paid that he’d actually plan to reimburse the government $906 for taking a cab from Wodonga to Melbourne. This tool just got caught out – because he was stupid enough to boast about it on Facebook. While he was still in the cab!

At least Adam hasn’t been caught out groping females at Parliamentary functions, unlike a previous Sophie staffer – Scrinis was his name. Where does Sophie get her staffers from? And what the hell do they do anyway?
